Joan Walsh what were you thinking?!!!!
I am repulsed by Sarah Palin and everything she stands for, but this is a base attack based upon sexualized steroetypes of women. This is what the media did to Hillary and the pages of Salon did the honborable thing and cried foul.
I think that the answer to one of the most taboo questions the primary season brought us has become clear: Sexism is currently much more acceptable than racism is. If McCain had picked Bobby Jindal, would you have allowed a crude & cliched racial screed to appear in the pages of Salon? I think we all know the answer to that one.
Joan Walsh, I have had much respect for you as an editor, writer, and thinker, but you need to explain yourself.
